Business is business.

A story is told of a lawyer in this city,
known nearly as well for his love of q fee
as his legal ability, both of which are I'M
doubted. On one occasion when he was in
the law school he was up for examination,
and the professor put a difficult question
to him. 'Do you mean that for business
or just for fungi he asked. ''For bust
ness, of course, sir,' replied the professor
with some show Of wrath at the young
mans impertinence, ''and I want an an
swer." "Oh, WELL" he said coolly, ''you
needn't get mad about it. Twas only ask,
ing for information. AS it is a business
matter, Unjust say to you that I can't give
you an answer unless you give me re-
tainer. Business is business"

customs duties. A customs duty on tea or
coffee or sugar-thatis Is "atarlff for revenue
only" the Democratic idea, is tax pure
and simple on these articles, because we do
not produce them, and the duty is neces-
sarily added to the import cost.
But customs duty on articles that we
do or can produce is not necessarily tax
at all, because the duty, preventing lmpor-
tatlon and guaranteeing security to capital
invested in the production Of the article,
stimulates bone production and comped-
tion between home producers, lowers the
price TO such an extent that the tariff is not
q tax except upon the foreign producer,
forcing him to lower the prices OF his goods,
so that he can pay the duty and still com
pete with the American producer.
Having discussed the two great questions
affecting the permanent policy Of the coun-
try, Senator Sherman then spoke OF the one
that is embarrassing the Democrats So
serlously-that is the surplus In the treasury
and the methods by which further accumu.
lations can be prevented. On this subject
Senator Sherman gave the absolutely cor
rect solution. He said
would not touch the tax on distilled spirits.
I would reduce or abolish wholly the tax on
tobacco. I would make the tax on sugar
either nominal or wipe tout entirely; IL wiped
out, would offer a bounty for sugar raising.
This would encourage the farmers of the land
toraise beet sugar. likewise favor the return
to the states Of the direct tax. Again. would
revive the distribution act Of 1897. In that
year Congress passed an act providing that the
surplus then in the treasury should be dis
tributed among the several states upon the
basis OF population. An instailment amoun-
ing to s1V,0O0,0O0 was paid. Then the Panic
came on, with attendant bad times, and the
payment Of the second iustallment was sns.
pended. This law could be revived by sim.
pie Joint resolution of Congress, and would dis
tribute $4,000 900. | think, though, 1t should
be paid only TO the states which were in the
Union in 1887, and not to those which haze sub.
scquently come In.
The removal OF the tax on tobacco and
sugar would reduce the revenues SS5, 900,
0C0 The bounty on sugar would the Grst
year amount 10 at least S7,OOO,000, and this
amount Of reduction and increased e1pendi-
ture is all that is proper or needful.
Senator Sherman has spoken timely aud
well.

tion Of monarchical governments for such
services with our own. 1t has been said
that "republics are ungrateful," and appa-
rently not without just cause, for what

would have shown so little appreciation Of

women, who, at the breaking out Of the

Oceanla to suit her purposes and greed"-.
all this Is tory braggadoc'o
a. tory ballad OF time gone by
hut what is certain is that the Englisn
supremacy and influence Is going towari
sunset in Asia, and particularly IN China,
where England has been weighed and found
wanting. Eugland's last trump for pre-
serving her perfidiously acquired aud nov
vacilating influence ln China Is the honest
and astute Sir Robert Hart, the Irish Orange
man. Inspector general OF the Chinese Gus
tom house, who went to China rs poor stu
dentinterpreter; heis to-day the richest man
in China, and lends money, with usury, to the
Chinese mandarins, bankers, and merchants,
and what he (IIart) cannot accomplish With
his blarney and mellfuous tongue aud
sycophantic and servile behavior, he re.
sorts to his big purse and convinces or
bribes the recalcitrants.
The important concessions granted by
the viceroy L.IIung- Chang, the Bismarck
Napoleon OF China, being statesman and
warrior, to Count Mitklewlcz, Wharton Bar
ker, and other enterprlsing Americans, are u
wonder, and mark an epoch In the history OF
the Chinese empire, and which can be re-
corded as q wise and states nanllke act on
the part of the Chinese government repre-
sented in these concessions by the vlceroy
Of Petchily, president Of the board of trade
Of China, Is the best proof Of the totteriug
supremacy and influence OF England in the
Flowery Kingdom, and Of the growing Amer
can, which, In near future, will supplant
the British.
This grand undertaking on the part Of
the syndicate OF Philadelphia bankers de-
serves the support and applause OF the gov
ernment and people of the United States,
and should be considered national enter
prise.

The Chinese Concessions.

The attention Of Secretary Bayard was
called yesterday afternoon by REpuBLI-

which stated that the State Department had
been advised that the Mitkiewicz conces-

The Secretary said there was certainly
some mistake about it, as his department
had never received word from China
which would indicate that the concessions
had been withdrawn.
